General Hospital Casts a New Kristina.

It looks like Port Charles is going to be adding another young character to its ranks.

Although not exactly a new character, viewers will be treated to an entirely new version of a character they may not know very well. Sonny and Alexis’ daughter, Kristina, is being magically aged into a teenager this summer. Young actress Lexi Ainsworth will be joining the cast and, so far, the rumor is that she will prove to be quite a handful.

Lexi, a native of Oklahoma City, OK, has been dancing and appearing in theater production since the age of six. After attending acting boot camp, she caught the eye of a talent agency and soon landed a role in a Barbie commercial. After a string of other commercials, she had roles on “Medical Investigation,” “iCarly,” a recurring part on “Gilmore Girls,” and appeared in the movie “Wild Child.”
